From Toronto Ontario’s Mill Street Brewery comes their “Vanilla Porter” a Nitro Porter in a can. The beer pours a deep brown with a creamy tan head. The aroma consists of vanilla, chocolate and sweet. The flavour is of vanilla, chocolate, fruit, toffee and a sweet finish. The alcohol content comes in at 5% with an IBU of 29. Being a person that finds vanilla to sweet I was a bit worried about this beer. Luckily for me with it being a nitro beer the vanilla was a bit subdued and the flavour was quite enjoyable.
